Using Route Information to Review Your Passage Plan

You can view data for all the waypoints in the current route, or any saved route.

You select the route from the database list and the information is displayed in a Route Information pop-up; the following details are provided for each waypoint:

Position

Bearing (from previous waypoint)

Length of leg (from previous waypoint)

Total Length

Time (ETA or Elapsed)

Soft keys are provided to toggle the time between ETA or elapsed and to change the Speed Over Ground (SOG) value; the ETA for each waypoint is calculated using the selected SOG, so you can change the SOG to determine its effect on your ETA.
